I am so happy to share this DIY with you guys since Catherine and I had so much fun doing it. It was heartbreaking cracking one to take pictures but hey, that’s what they’re made for! These fortune easter eggs are a fun handmade gift you can give to absolutely anyone.
It was my first time cleaning out eggs, therefore I used this great step by step tutorial and it was easier than I thought it would be! Didn’t even break one!
I used a pin the poke holes in the eggshell and a toothpick to pierce the yolk. Then I just blew out the contents, cleaned them under running water and put them 20 seconds in the microwave. It dries and hardens the eggshells.
We then proceeded to painting the eggs with acrylic paint. After making a complete mess, we finally figured it was way easier to insert a wooden skewer all the way through the egg. This way, we could paint 360′! Yay!
And Voilà!
The next step is finding some witty easter-themed messages to put inside you eggs. Here’s what we came up with!
The only thing to do next is to roll those really thight and insert them inside the eggs! There you go, your fortune easter eggs are ready to hatch!
You could even use these to plan an easter egg hunt, inserting clues instead of furtune messages!
Happy easter crafts!
